282, you seem to be rather het up about something. Why not PM me about it? I prefer to be known neither as a liberal or a conservative, because they are both pretty useless labels...designed not to enlighten, but to condemn.

I do NOT regard science as a religion. I regard science's less self-aware and more vociferously close-minded aherents as being religious about science. Their attitude about it is religious. There's a difference. You can be religious about any damn thing you want to be religious about. My dog is religious about food... Food is not a religion. It's a material thing. Science is a material discipline based on observation of the material world, and using experimentation with and upon the material world. It works fine within its own perameters. I have no argument with science, and have never disbelieved IN science or the scientific method. I respect science entirely.
